Re: [MW:34217] SS GTAW Welding without Back purging.

Are you intending to qualify PQR in 

Single Vee butt weld - No welding from Root side ?

Double Side Weld with back grinding DPT from root side ?

This will decide the PQR  purging requirement

Thanks

Dear experts,

Could you please check and advise the below query.

• Whether the back purging is a quality requirement or the ASME code is insisting on back purging on SS material while doing the GTAW process.
• Whether we can qualify SS -GTAW PQR without back purging or the ASME code does not allow doing PQR for austenitic steels without a back purge?
• Kindly advise how to do it without purging in SS GTAW Welding . Planning for PQR as well
